Cara Membuat Question Tag

Question tag adalah pertanyaan singkat yang sering terdapat pada akhir sebuah kalimat dalam
suatu kalimat. Dalam bahasa Indonesia, question tag bisa diartikan kan?/bukan?/ya?/ yuk?.

Beberapa ketentuan dalam membuat question tag, yaitu:

1. Jika kalimatnya positif, maka question tag-nya negatif.

Contoh:
Soyong is smart, isnt she?
Won Bin and Tim are making a bowl of noodle, arent they?
Catatan: Jika question tag-nya negatif, maka not harus disingkat.
Contohnya : isnt he? bukan is not he?

2. Jika kalimatnya berupa larangan atau perintah, gunakan will you untuk question tag-nya.
Contoh:
Dont be noise, will you?
Dont make me upset, will you?

3. Jika kalimatnya negatif, maka question tag-nya positif.

Contoh:
Soyong is not smart, is she?
Won Bin and Tim are not making a bowl of noodle, are they?

4. Jika kalimatnya menggunakan kata kerja (verb), maka gunakan do/does atau did.
Contoh:
Sinta buys Amanda Cakes in Bandung, doesnt she?
Jack found the key on that desk, didnt he?

5. Jika subjeknya I am, maka question tag-nya arent I. Namun, bila subjeknya I am not,
maka question tag-nya am I.
Contoh:
I am not rude, am I?
I am diligent, arent I?
